One Week Off
My University has this week off of classes in honor of Brazil's Independence day (September 7th, 1822). My original plan was to travel, and I still might make it out of the city on Thursday, but I am not sure. After two weeks of the flu in the middle of August, my body didn't quite make it back to 100% before I got sick again. It's just a cold though.
Research
Doing a research project while hear, or at least starting one will help me make the most of my stay. Prior to arriving in Brazil I had a lot of interest in looking into the brand Victoria Secrets hear in Brazil. For some reason there are only two VS locations in Brazil, and knowing what I know about Brazilian culture and lingerie I didn't understand why there are only two locations. While I still have interest in this area, I decided yesterday that if I am going to do research, I should try to it something I can enjoy. The thought came to me to study improv in Brazil. What I already know about improv in Brazil is that is not common or well known. Then, I was thinking, I could attempt to start an improv group here at ESALQ. (My mom actually asked me when I first arrived if I was going to.) The attempt to start the group could be a test to see if there would be a demand for improv at this specific university. Then the crazy idea of making a documentary about starting this group came to mind.
Comes to Fruition
"Woah now Katie. You have no experience with making documentaries and you don't have your experienced friends here to help you. Start an improv group? Can that be done by one person? Again, you don't have your improv friends here to help you".
I realize the challenge, self! I do. But I really think there is a chance this could work and I might even enjoy the project along the way.
